As you begin formulating the plans for your new home, there seems to be no end to the number of choices you have to make. It's natural to pour hours of time and effort into choosing the right paint, wall coverings, exterior finish and other aesthetics for your new home. But first take some time to decide what will be inside those walls.
Traditional wood-frame construction can't compare to the safety, permanence, and energy efficiency of walls built with insulating concrete forms. To learn the many benefits of an ICF home, start in our Important Facts section.
Benefits of a BuildBlock ICF Home:
30-70% savings in energy consumption and costs (good for your pocketbook and the environment)
Tornado, hurricane and earthquake resistant (keeping your family and belongings safe and sound)
75% reduction in outside air infiltration (less dust and allergens)
Three times quieter than a wood-frame home
Building with ICFs saves at least ten trees per home
ICFs can be used to build virtually any home plan, using any finish - brick, stucco, siding, and more. Exterior finishes and sheetrock are fastened directly to the polypropylene webs (studs) located on 6" centers.
Electrical and plumbing lines are chased directly in the foam insulation, eliminating the need to furr out walls.
